The God of Conducting Starting from Absolute Pitch

Chapter 299 Here, Just You and Me
Their eyes met.

Chen Qiu's gaze was a little evasive in his excitement.

Although he had expected Su Yue to be in this place, he was still a little at a loss when he really saw Su Yue. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He could only smile foolishly twice, then took two steps forward and walked in front of Su Yue.

He looked at the beautiful figure in front of him, trying hard to meet Su Yue's gaze.

But perhaps it was because his heart was too turbulent, and even though he really wanted to look at Su Yue, his gaze would always unconsciously shift to other places.

This was not the case with Su Yue, who was standing opposite Chen Qiu.

Compared to the worry before Chen Qiu came in, after Chen Qiu came in, her gaze changed from entanglement to calmness.

She looked at Chen Qiu with a smile, stared at Chen Qiu's slightly evasive pupils, and said softly.

"What, you're not happy to see me?"

"how is this possible?"

Chen Qiu retorted directly without any hesitation.

However, Su Yue raised her eyebrows and asked directly.

"Then why can't you even look me in the eye?"

"That's because..."

Chen Qiu was speechless. He raised his hand and scratched his head, not knowing what to say at this moment.

When he was on the phone, Chen Qiu didn't have to face Su Yue's aura, so he was actually in a relatively relaxed state.

I was able to chat and laugh with Su Yue normally, and talk about anything without feeling particularly nervous.

But when I really saw Su Yue, my heart started to get nervous.

Chen Qiu spoke honestly.

"Okay, maybe it's because I'm a little timid. After all, I've never looked at a girl so seriously before, so..."

puff.

Before Chen Qiu could finish his words, Huang Xin and Rui Jia, who were sitting next to him, couldn't hold it in and almost spit out saliva.

The ambiguous atmosphere between the two people in the lounge dissipated instantly.

Even if the two of them raised their hands and covered each other's mouths while laughing, and looked pitifully at Su Yue who was standing in front of them, there was no way to restore the atmosphere.

Su Yue looked helplessly at Huang Xin and Rui Jia on the side, sighed lightly, and said nothing.

When Chen Qiu heard the two people bursting into laughter, he also reacted. He took two steps forward, walked through the entrance of the lounge, and looked towards the sofa on the side. He soon saw the two people hugging each other, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He never thought that his performance just now was heard by Huang Xin and Rui Jia.

Ruijia is okay. She is not a big talker and is a simple person who won't tell others about it.

But Huang Xin...

Chen Qiu stared at Huang Xin with a hint of resentment in his eyes, which made Huang Xin stand up immediately, holding Rui Jia and raising her hand.

"I'm sorry, Commander Chen Qiu, I'm sorry, I'm responsible for your problem. I promise you that I will never tell anyone about what happened today. Don't worry! Right, Ruijia?"

"Ah? Yes! Yes, I...I will definitely not tell anyone about it!"

Rui Jia was in front of Huang Xin. She looked at Su Yue and Chen Qiu in front of her and spoke timidly.

Looking at Rui Jia and Huang Xin dodging behind Rui Jia, Chen Qiu sighed with a slight headache and could only wave his hand helplessly.

"Okay, both of you go out and stop talking nonsense. If I hear any bad rumors later, you two just wait here for me!"

"Okay! Commander Chen Qiu, don't worry! I'm leaving now, and I won't tell anyone!"

Huang Xin's eyes lit up, and she immediately hugged Rui Jia, who had no time to react, and walked out of the lounge in a hurry.

When walking to the door, Huang Xin smiled considerately at Chen Qiu and Su Yue, and closed the door carefully.

Looking at the lounge that had fallen into silence again, Chen Qiu and Su Yue fell silent again.

Both sides looked at each other, not knowing what to say to ease the emotions between them.

Long time no see?
Or maybe the moon is really round tonight?

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Qiu's mind, but he couldn't find the most suitable one.

Looking at Su Yue who was waiting for him to speak, Chen Qiu finally just shook his head helplessly, rubbed his back, walked to the sofa where Huang Xin and Rui Jia had been sitting before, sat down, and said to Su Yue with a smile.

"Sorry, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm a little uncomfortable for a while. How are you? How are you doing recently? I remember you told me on WeChat last time that you were preparing for a concert. How was the performance?"

"Everything went well, so the teacher asked me to follow her on a tour in East Asia, which is why I happened to have time to come to Haicheng."

Listening to Chen Qiu's awkward chat, Su Yue couldn't help but laugh. Instead of letting Chen Qiu feel awkward, she walked forward a few steps, leaned against the corner of Chen Qiu's table, and explained to Chen Qiu.

"Although it's an East Asian tour, it's actually in Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. There are no domestic performances scheduled, and I'm going to Japan this time, so I'll take the opportunity to go to Japan to transfer in Haicheng. After staying for one night, I'll fly directly to Japan."

"Japan..."

Chen Qiu nodded thoughtfully, then leaned forward, took out his cell phone, and smiled at Su Yue.

"Would you like me to introduce someone to you? I know a pretty good conductor in Tokyo."

After that, Chen Qiu pushed Nakamura Shira's email address to Su Yue without waiting for Su Yue to refuse.

Only after hearing the ding of Su Yue's cell phone did Chen Qiu nod with satisfaction and said to Su Yue.

"Although he thinks about drinking all day, as the host, he is still very reliable if you have any problems. And his English is very good. We can't hear any Japanese accent when we communicate. You can go to him without worry. If he can't solve the problem, you can go to me. I will fly to Japan overnight to help you solve it!"

"Well, thank you."

Su Yue looked into Chen Qiu's eyes and spoke seriously.

Their eyes met again.

Although the distance between the two is much greater than before, the gap between their hearts is much smaller than before.

Chen Qiu no longer dodged Su Yue's gaze, but looked at Su Yue gently, conveying his heart to Su Yue.

Su Yue's gaze remained the same as before.

But the faint smile on his face seemed to become softer.

Chen Qiu looked at Su Yue's gentle gaze and couldn't help but smile.

"It's only been a few months, almost half a year, but it feels like a lot longer. Not only has the band's level improved, but yours has also become more beautiful compared to previous performances."

"Ok?"

After Su Yue heard Chen Qiu's voice, the hand holding her clarinet tightened involuntarily. She looked at Chen Qiu and spoke with a little curiosity.

"You... heard it?"

"Please! I'm the commander!"

Chen Qiu spread his hands helplessly, then pointed to his ears and sighed to Su Yue.

"In addition to my understanding of music, I make a living with my ears. Even though your voice backstage is not loud and it feels like only you can hear it, as a conductor, I can hear clearly where the sound distribution in the orchestra is uneven! How could I not hear your voice backstage?"

Speaking of this, Chen Qiu looked at Su Yue's surprised pupils and smiled at her.

"However, your clarinet sounds very nice. I wonder what it would be like if you were actually playing with us in the orchestra instead of playing alone in the background."

After hearing this, Su Yue seemed to think of the scene when she played with Chen Qiu in the orchestra, and the corners of her mouth also slightly curled up.

"Maybe... it will sound better than the current performance?"

"It will definitely be more beautiful and more perfect than the current performance."

Chen Qiu nodded seriously.

After saying that, without waiting for Su Yue to speak, Chen Qiu stood up from his sofa, rubbed his back, walked to the door of the lounge, and said to Su Yue with a smile.

"Come on, don't stay in the lounge all the time, come and take a look around the orchestra. I haven't been back for a long time, and the orchestra has also had some new changes. Can I show you around?"

"okay."

Although she had visited the place alone before and learned a lot about the current status of the Harmony Symphony Orchestra from Huang Xin, Su Yue did not want to refuse Chen Qiu's invitation.

She stood up without any hesitation, walked lightly behind Chen Qiu, raised her head slightly, looked at Chen Qiu, and said softly.

"Let's go."

"Okay, be careful and don't fall. Those people in the band leave their stuff everywhere. I've told them many times but they didn't listen..."

Chen Qiu grinned.

With an exceptionally elegant posture, he helped Su Yue walk two steps forward. After Su Yue, who was wearing high heels, stood firmly, he withdrew his hand, walked two steps to Su Yue's side, and led the way for her.

As they walked, he told Su Yue about the changes that had taken place in his concert hall in recent times.

Whether it is personnel changes, honors won by the orchestra, or some interesting stories about the orchestra.

Chen Qiu poured all these things out to Su Yue without thinking twice, just like pouring beans.

Looking at Su Yue beside him, Chen Qiu didn't know why he was so talkative.

Obviously, he usually doesn't care about the things in the orchestra, but when he is with Su Yue, every little detail of the orchestra instantly floods into his mind and makes him think about it all at once.

Su Yue just followed Chen Qiu quietly, listening to Chen Qiu's story without showing any impatience on her face.

Even though she had no idea how many times she had walked this path, the changes in the band were not particularly big since she first walked this path.

But in front of Chen Qiu, she seemed to know nothing about the orchestra. She listened to Chen Qiu's explanation carefully and nodded from time to time.

The two of them walked slowly in the harmonious symphony orchestra, one telling the story and the other listening.

It is obvious that the Harmony Symphony Orchestra is not a particularly large concert hall, and even many of the decorations inside are relatively ordinary.

But Chen Qiu and Su Yue seemed to be seeing these for the first time, with smiles and surprise in their eyes.

Huang Xin and Rui Jia followed quietly behind Chen Qiu and Su Yue. Looking at them walking back and forth in the concert hall, Rui Jia blinked and whispered to Huang Xin hesitantly.

"Huang Xin, did Sister Su Yue really just leave the orchestra for a short while? Why does it seem like she has never been to the concert hall? Why is she so interested in everything?"

"Hehe, this is the stench of love. You are still young, you don't understand!"

Huang Xin shook her head and hummed. She didn't look at Chen Qiu and Su Yue, but at the door of the lounge that was not closed, and spoke with a hint of curiosity.

"But then again, compared to the sour love between these two, I'm more interested in what happened in the lounge. Do you think they'll do something when we leave?"

"Huh? What's that?"

Rui Jia was stunned and didn't react to what Huang Xin was talking about.

But Huang Xin couldn't wait any longer and just waved his hand.

"Hey, just follow me and you'll know."

She quietly slipped into the lounge, opened the door, sniffed hard, then pursed her lips and muttered.

"Sure enough, so cowardly."

"what?"

Rui Jia followed closely behind Huang Xin, imitating Huang Xin's actions just now and sniffed around the lounge. She didn't smell anything special and couldn't help but say in confusion.

"Here, what happened?"

"No, nothing happened. Commander Chen Qiu is really a coward. If it were me, I would definitely pick up Yueyue, press her on the sofa, and feed her a lot of soy milk, huh!" Huang Xin clenched his fists and said viciously.

But her words made Ruijia even more confused.

She looked at the soy milk machine on the side and asked puzzledly: "Soy milk? Sister Su Yue... do you like drinking soy milk?"

"Hehe, if you don't understand, don't interrupt me. This soy milk is not that soy milk!"

Huang Xin shook his head and clicked his tongue.

Then he took Ruijia's hand and walked back out of the lounge, talking as he walked.

"Forget it, let's just forget about it. Our concert hall is so small, even if those two people wander around a lot, they've almost reached the end of their wandering by now. Let's go, let's go to the performance hall and have a look. Maybe there's something good to see."

"Oh, oh oh..."

Rui Jia was dazed and was dragged by Huang Xin towards the performance hall.

She felt that Huang Xin's thoughts were too erratic and her words were confusing.

However, as she walked towards the concert hall, she found that for some reason, more and more people were following them.

And everyone had an excited look on their face.

The first is Zhao Xi, and the second is Ai Gu.

The Yuefu's Xu Shuwen and the other man also followed them quietly, looking like they were enjoying themselves, and walked with them.

Even Wu Ming, who has the least presence in the band and you even forget he exists, is the same.

But maybe it's because the viola is naturally invisible.

Compared to the sneaky and cautious appearance of the band members, Wu Ming behaved much more confidently and generously.

He stood directly behind Chen Qiu and Su Yue, with his arms folded, staring at the two of them.

Although he is such a big person, he seems to be completely integrated into the environment and has no sense of existence at all.

However, if he had not blocked the view of the other onlookers behind him, perhaps no one would have noticed Wu Ming's presence until Chen Qiu and Su Yue arrived in the performance hall.

Obviously, the same as Huang Xin and Rui Jia.

This group of people all came here to eat melons.

They also noticed Chen Qiu and Su Yue wandering around in the concert hall.

As qualified spectators, they naturally would not step forward to disturb at this time.

Everyone in the band looked at Chen Qiu and Su Yue with eyes almost shining.

However, just as Chen Qiu and Su Yue were about to enter the performance hall, a calm voice rang out from the crowd.

"Why are you guys not packing up for the party? What are you doing here?"

Qin Xian was standing beside the crowd, carrying his violin bag. He looked at them in confusion and asked them.

The sudden sound startled everyone.

Before Qin Xian could say anything, Zhao Xi and Ai Gu rushed forward two steps, walked to Qin Xian's side, covered his mouth, pushed his body down, and suppressed his body.

After confirming that Qin Xian couldn't speak, Zhao Xi spoke in a low voice.

"Shut up, don't talk, and look forward!"

"???"

Qin Xian looked at Zhao Xi and Ai Gu beside him in confusion. Seeing that they were unwilling to let him go, he could only follow their instructions and look blankly into the distance. Then his eyes gradually became clear and his pupils became straight.

His gaze shuttled back and forth between Su Yue, Chen Qiu and the members of the orchestra. His eyes widened and he looked like he wanted to say something.

Seeing Qin Xian like this, Zhao Xi and Ai Gu looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Zhao Xi whispered to Qin Xian.

"Keep your voice down and I'll let you go, do you hear me?"

Qin Xian nodded vigorously.

Zhao Xi raised his head and looked into the distance. When he found that Chen Qiu and Su Yue did not notice them, he released his hand that was covering Qin Xian's mouth.

As soon as he let go, Qin Xian couldn't help but asked Zhao Xi and Ai Gu in a low voice.

"When did Commander Chen Qiu and Chief Su Yue come to an agreement?"

"I don't know." Zhao Xi shook his head and followed Chen Qiusu Yue little by little with the rest of the group. He also whispered, "I just discovered it too."

"Then is this not a good thing for us to do?" Qin Xian couldn't help but frown after hearing Zhao Xi's voice, and whispered, "Does this count as peeping into Commander Chen Qiu's privacy? After all..."

"Hey! What are you talking about? What do you mean by peeping into Commander Chen Qiu's privacy?"

Huang Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Qiu and Su Yue entering the performance, then she stepped on Qin Xian and said angrily.

"This is called caring about the conductor's life, do you understand? Do I need to remind you how important Conductor Chen Qiu is? Our orchestra was built up by Conductor Chen Qiu. If Conductor Chen Qiu's mentality collapses, then our orchestra will be finished! Therefore, it is our duty to care about Conductor Chen Qiu! Besides, how can we call it peeping into the affairs of musicians? Right?"

After saying that, Huang Xin looked at the closed door of the performance hall in the distance again. After making sure that Chen Qiu should not be able to hear their voices, he spoke excitedly.

"Come on, go on, hurry up to the second floor of the auditorium, otherwise you won't be able to see the show."

"Can't catch up with the show?"

Qin Xian raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at the people who were walking anxiously towards the audience seats, and Chen Qiu who had disappeared backstage. He shook his head slightly and did not say anything. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he chose to follow everyone to the second floor.

At this moment.

There was silence in the performance hall.

Because they were still cleaning up, the lights in the concert hall had not been completely turned off, only the stage lights had been turned off and the chairs had been cleared away.

The lights in the auditorium were still on.

Chen Qiu and Su Yue came to the performance hall, stood in the center of the stage, and looked at the empty auditorium below the stage. Chen Qiu couldn't help but smile and asked Su Yue.

"How is it? My concert hall is pretty good, right?"

"Yeah, very good."

Su Yue looked around the stage, nodded slightly, and a look of regret appeared on her face.

It would be great if I could follow Chen Qiu and perform their first show here.

Su Yue sighed slowly, and couldn't help but raise the clarinet in her hand, slowly breathing her breath into it.

hum...

The soft sound of the clarinet echoed in the concert hall.

Like the croon of a mezzo-soprano.

But she is not alone.

And along with the sound of the clarinet.

And there are overhead show lights.

And the sound of piano not far away.

Wait, piano?

Listening to the piano music beside her ears, Su Yue couldn't help but turn her head and found that at the edge of the stage, Chen Qiu pushed the SK-II that had been placed in the concert hall to the center of the stage.

The bright lights shine on the dark piano, making it look exceptionally bright.

Like jewels and diamonds.

Under her gaze, Chen Qiu fixed the rollers of the piano, then sat on the piano stool and smiled at her.

The light fell on Chen Qiu's face, making him look extremely handsome.

Chen Qiu smiled gently at Su Yue.

"I'm sorry that I didn't let you play with us tonight, but I think now we have a chance, a chance for us to start over and make up for tonight's performance."

"it's here."

"Just you and me."

Looking at Chen Qiu, Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she smiled lightly at Chen Qiu and nodded.

"Well, then..."

"Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A major."

"Finish our evening."

"Mozart Evening."
